Aussies abroad 🌍🦘

If he was that sharp in a Championship return game then he'll be even sharper after 5 weeks of pre world cup camp and 2 friendlies. Even at his sharpest he may cost us a goal as the law of averages will do to any player.

Burgess is after the world cup own goal golden boot knowing his bad luck.

yeah and lots of players will be without a game for three weeks right?

I'm not sure how much professionals regress after a much needed 3 week break not to mention an intensive training camp. I think everyone should be given at least a week to have some R&R and then the business starts again. It's been a long season and those coming right out of season into a world cup camp with no break will be feeling it after 2 world cup games.

guus did a full pre season apparently with the 06 roos

It was needed, our team played together very rarely. They didn't really click until they were near their decline in 2009 and showed their ability (2011 asian cup wasn't bad, our best performance away from home). We also have a lot of new roos this time round since our younger players are more talented. So I wonder how to weight experince vs quality

Tete Yengi subbed on in the 76th minute in a 2-2 draw away to Mito Hollyhock. Had a headed assist from a long throw rubbed out at the death and looked a handful when Machida were chasing a winner.

Out of the current Aussies, I think only Kev is at the right stage of his career, however he needs to strike while the iron is hot to try Europe again - maybe the Championship (hopefully Wolves).

Aloisi just arrived in a good club spot and should prove he can win overseas. I think Corica needs to leave the A-league and Milligan has only just started.

We might need to go international.

I know this was anathema 15 years ago, but why not an English coach? Their football environment is entirely different to what it used to be, there’s a much greater chance they’ll understand the Aussie mentality and its unlikely they’ll see living here as a chore.
